An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface, an image forming unit, a plurality of sheet feeders, and a motor configured to selectively apply a drive force any of the sheet feeders. A transmission assembly switches transmission to any one of the sheet feeders. A controller receives preceding data from the communication interface, and, in response, controls the transmission assembly to initiate a switch of the transmission of the drive force to a standard sheet feeder among the plurality of the sheet feeders. In response to receipt control data received after the preceding data, the controller controls the image forming unit, motor, and transmission assembly to form an image on the sheet based on an image forming condition included in the control data.

A recording device includes a sandwiching member coming into contact with a first guide shaft at a guide shaft-side contact surface and disposed between a carriage and the first guide shaft in a second direction and a cam member coming into contact with a first curved surface of the sandwiching member and configured to rotate about a first direction as a rotation axis relative to the carriage in a state of being engaged with the carriage. The cam member presses the first curved surface with the second curved surface slidably fitted to the first curved surface in the second direction and changes a position of the carriage relative to the sandwiching member in the second direction as a distance in the second direction of a position at which the second curved surface presses the first curved surface relative to the rotation axis changes along with rotation of the cam member.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes multiple heads configured to eject a liquid onto a medium, carriage configured to incorporate the multiple heads and move the multiple heads along a first direction, a cap configured to receive the liquid discharged from the multiple heads, and a mover configured to move the cap along a second direction that intersects with the first direction in a plan view. The multiple heads include a first head, and a second head arranged with respect to the first head in the first direction and provided at a position different from the first head in a second direction. The mover is configured to position the cap at a first position to cause the cap to receive the liquid discharged from the first head, and position the cap at a second position different from the first position in the second direction to cause the cap to receive the liquid discharged from the second head.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a medium conveyance device including a second conveyance roller pair disposed downstream in a conveyance direction of a first conveyance roller pair and a shutter unit including a contact section with which a leading end of a conveyed medium comes into contact upstream of a nip position of the second conveyance roller pair and displaceable to a first posture for correcting skew of the medium and a second posture for retracting the contact section such that the medium after the correction reaches the nip position, and a third conveyance roller pair disposed between the first conveyance roller pair and the contact section in the first posture. The third conveyance roller pair does not nip the medium before the leading end of the medium comes into contact with the contact section in the first posture of the shutter unit and nips and conveys the medium after the correction and when the shutter unit is displaced from the first posture to the second posture.
